It's finally time for the ultimate annual Wisconsin celebration – no, not National Cheese Curd Day, but the Wisconsin State Fair, firing up its rides, frying stuff on sticks, sending kids young and young-at-heart down the giant slide, and rocking from day to night now through Sunday, Aug. 11. 

The only thing more massively filled than a classic State Fair cream puff? The lineup of performances, demos, animal events and Sconnie showcases headed West Allis' way these next several days. (And that's not even including all the Sporkies, Drinkies and new foods the Fair's cooking up for you this year.) So, to help set up the most splendiferous State Fair possible, here's the complete schedule for the 2024 late summer spectacular – from Main Stage headliners, to cover band classics, to contests ranging from goats to gastronomy, to diving dogs and hogs in a hurry, and so much more.
